  1. GMAO’s Seasonal-to-Interannual Forecasts &Potential contributions to MME Forecasts Michele Rienecker, Randy Koster, Siegfried Schubert Christian Keppenne, Rolf Reichle, Shu-Chih Yang CTB SAB Meeting August 28, 2007 Max Suarez Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) 30 Nov 2005

  2. CGCMv1 Ensemble Forecast System AGCM(AMIP forced with Reynolds SST; NCEP Analyses) 12 month Coupled Integrations: 6-30 ensemble members Atmospheric state perturbations: ’s randomly from previous integrations Ocean state estimate perturbations: ’s randomly from snapshots or from EnKF Ocean DAS(Surface wind analysis, GPCP precipitation; Reynolds SST, Temperature profiles; synthetic salinity profiles; altimetry) AGCM: NSIPP1 AGCM, 2 x 2.5 x L34 LSM: Mosaic (SVAT) OGCM: Poseidon v4, 1/3 x 5/8 x L27, with embedded mixed layer physics CGCM: Full coupling, once per day ODAS: Optimal Interpolation of in situ temperature profiles; Ensemble Kalman Filter “LDAS”: Offline forced land states (recalibrated) 30 Nov 2005

  4. Forecast skill (ACC) from CGCMv1 SST anomaly Initialized 1 March, 1993-2006 EnKF OI-TS 1-month lead 3-month lead 6-month lead 30 Nov 2005

  5. Forecast skill (ACC) from CGCMv1 Heat content anomaly in upper 300m Initialized 1 March, 1993-2006 EnKF OI-TS 1-month lead 3-month lead 6-month lead 30 Nov 2005

  7. GEOS-5 CGCM Forecast System - Status & Plans • GEOS-5 AGCM, Catchment LSM, MOM4 • Simulation for several decades, still tuning • Configuration • AGCM: 1° 1.25°72L • MOM4: 0.25° 0.5° 40L (telescoping grid in equatorial band - NCEP configuration) • Forecast Initialization • MOM4 initialized by ODAS-2 multivariate assimilation (EnKF) • LSM initialized by offline (LIS) forcing • AGCM initialized by reanalysis (NCEP, MERRA?) • Hindcast strategy • 1993-2007 • Use low-resolution MERRA for atmosphere and also for ocean forcing • Coupled EnKF? • Ensemble Strategy possibilities • mimic NCEP, initialization every day • mimic NCEP (except initialization every 3days) + 3-member ensemble from breeding • all ensemble members initialized 1st of the month 30 Nov 2005

  8. GEOS-5 CGCM- contributing to the MME • GEOS-5 timeline • Q2-FY08 Begin ODAS • Q3-FY08 Begin hindcasts • Q4-FY08 Contribute selected G5 hindcast months to CTB MME • Proposed Interim Strategy • Use CGCMv1 (ensembles initialized 1st month, 1993 - present) • Q1-FY08 contribute EnKF system for selected months as test of MME 30 Nov 2005

  9. CGCMv1 Forecasts initialized 1 Aug, 2007 30 Nov 2005

  11. Mean SST error in Nino3 Ensemble forecast system performance ACC in Nino3 SST Ensemble spread in Nino3 SST ensemble spread vs.SST error In Nino3 region • Forecast errors show a strong dependence on seasons/starting month • Ensemble spread doesn’t have the season-dependent characteristic shown in forecast errors • Ensemble spread is too small compared to the forecast error, especially at early months error spread Forecast month 30 Nov 2005 Shu-Chih Yang
